POLYNESIAN PINEAPPLE ROAST - Crock pot

Category: Roasts/Tenderloin - Beef

1 boneless beef roast (about 3 pounds, a top round will work great for this)
1-1/2 to 2 tbsp browning sauce (such as Kitchen Bouquet or similar)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
Fresh ground black pepper (use as much as you like)
1 medium onion, sliced
1 (8 oz) can unsweetened pineapple tidbits
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and sliced

In a shallow bowl combine the flour with salt and pepper. Brush the browning sauce over the roast then roll in the flour mixture. Place the sliced onion into the crock pot then place the roast over the onions. Drain the pineapple reserving the juice then refrigerate the pineapple.

In a small bowl combine the brown sugar with cornstarch and ginger; whisk in the beef broth, soy sauce, minced garlic and reserved pineapple juice until smooth and well combined; pour over the meat. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours adding in the pineapple tidbits and green bell pepper about halfway through cooking.
